Stubby holders, stubby holders & stubby holders would do me although my better half would prefer a cap!
Maybe tee shirts could be reserved for group meets and be personalised for the meet?

Maybe try to keep it simple for a start ie.expandasdownunder.com in say a calibri font for van stickers.You could do the same on the hats in a couple of colours and see how it goes.I would hate to see someone left holding 50 hats and a hundred other items.Should also remember that expandasdownunder.com at 2cm per letter is nearly half a metre long!

For merchandise printing I think you'll find the Forum banner too complicated for printing on Stubbie Coolers and hats. Hats always look better embroidered IMO.

What about something simple like this... would look okay on Hats, stickers and coolers (I think). I only used orange cause that's on our expanda.

You are officially the site grahic designer :)!!!!

Love it :lalala:

What does everyone else think??

I think the bonus to that sticker you could alter the orange font each year / years as they change van graphics.

Did you do it in photo shop???

Well done Andrea looks great.

Maybe we could and a set of tyre tracks vanishing off into the distance to the left corner, similar to the Pathfinder forum, just a though!

yeah I like that. Keep it simple. Too busy on a sticker is too distracting.
I do think the forum banner would print ok on a stubby holder - photo type prints are common enough. But it would need to be very truncated as the total length is quite small, not banner length (1 expanda plus logo close to it is probably about all would fit)

However, for my two cents, whenever I used to do promotion or marketing stuff etc in my old job, I always needed to be conscious of brand identification. Although I like Andreas design, it is not the website's 'identification',and Moderator/owner of forum should consider this aspect - ie we don't usually see companies using two differing logos. No, this isn't a company, but we are talking a group identification by providing merchandise. So, looking up at the top banner, forgetting the colour background, what I see is a grey box with yeloow/orage border and text. That is really the 'identifiable' logo - whether intentional or not. Therefore, I think the next question mod/owner should ask is 'should that also be modified to match the merchandise' or alternatively 'should the merch be the grey box with yellow/orange border and text'?

Expanda, it is on Photoshop. I can send you the layered psd. Inbox me your email. This would also be very easy to do backgroundless giving the effect of the second sticker people liked.

Bushman, I'll have a look at a graphic. I was thinking a quirky stick-figure-like expanda but being an accountant I'm not sure if I'm talented enough in that area

Dingo, very valid point. I did look at that.... This is a decision the forum owners would need to make.

Bigman, do you think jayco's graphics are part of their intellectual property??
